This makes my heart so sad. It is something I’ve been dealing with for many years. My precious Mom was the “glue” in our family, when she passed away it was never the same. I tried for years to get everyone together even if it was once every couple of months. It just never worked out.
On my husbands side, he very rarely wanted to get together with his family. We’ve been invited so many times to the beach and to his families home but he just won’t go. I’ve explained how important this is for our son who is 17, to get to know his family and spend time with them. He just won’t do it.

In reply to Pauline Colquhoun. I can understand your heartache, Pauline. Perhaps you could invite them to join you for lunch at a neutral place before the gathering. Be prepared if they say they can’t. Some people’s hurts heal slowly, some people’s not at all. I will pray for the best scenario. ❤️

This writing touches my heart. Hubby and I are here in upstate New York for about six weeks. We lost my mom this spring and since the funeral I really haven’t talked to my siblings. We are having a get ogether this Sunday something my parents started. I have informed them that we are here and where and til sometime in September. All I have heard is what to bring to the gathering and glad your here. No let’s get together or go out for lunch or dinner. Now my hubby’s family we have gone out for a fish fry and even movie night. Not sure if I should call my sister and invite us to visit? I feel she is mad because I didn’t drop everything and come home when mom went into hospice. You see we were wintering in Texas, and didn’t know when to come. My heart aches ?

In reply to LaDonna Kitzman. It’s so sad when you start losing our parent’s generation. I still have several aunts and uncles and lots of cousins. Now, to gather them! ❤️

God bless you too, Kim. I wish I could have known her like you did. It’s not that I have NO fond memories of her. I do. But I didn’t really KNOW her.

I remember she had a rollaway bed that she would bring out of a closet for me when I stayed the night on Avery Street. She made the best chicken and dumplings I ever ate. She always made beautiful cakes. And Mike and I would stop at her house every day after school and eat our fill of donuts and milk! Notice a trend there? I was all about the food!

Cousins forever! ❤️

I come from a big family; both parents had 9/10 brothers and sisters, so grew up with lots of cousins. Unfortunely my dads side other than a few cousins have lost contact with most of
them, which is sad. But with a couple cousins on my moms side we decided to do reunions every couple years, to get to know the younger generation, and not just see each other on sad occasions, we started to lose uncles, aunts and even cousins.

In reply to Sandra Martindale. It is sad, isn’t it? I’m sorry for the loss of your siblings. ❤️
